Shin Megami Tensei V, one of the most awaited games to be released this year, has finally been released for the Nintendo Switch. Likewise, players are eagerly waiting for any announcement regarding the game’s release on other platforms, particularly PC. Fortunately, we’ve now received some evidence that Atlus, the developer behind Shin Megami Tensei V, could be releasing the game not only on PC but also on the PlayStation 4 soon.

Shin Megami Tensei V was first announced exclusively for the Nintendo Switch back in January 2017 alongside the unveiling of the console itself. However, there hasn’t been any news from Atlus or Sega Corporation regarding the game’s release on other platforms, too. Earlier today, a user on Twitter, Pan-hime – Persona stan, tweeted a screenshot of a snippet of string code from the game’s .uproject file and it showcases PC and the PlayStation 4 as the target platforms, alongside the Nintendo Switch.

in SMTV's .uproject, its target platforms are:

Switch
PS4
PC

Pan-hime – Persona stan, who is a data miner, was also responsible for the leak regarding the release of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne on PC, so the news of Shin Megami Tensei V coming to PC and the PlayStation 4 does have some credibility to it, it seems like.

Earlier this month, a second GitHub listing regarding the NVIDIA GeForce NOW database leak in September was uploaded, which gives us some insight as to when the leaked games will supposedly be released. According to the listing, Shin Megami Tensei V is expected to release for PC in February 2022. Considering that the NVIDIA GeForce NOW database leak has been rather accurate so far, the release of Shin Megami Tensei V on PC and the PlayStation 4 just makes sense.
